    I just set up hosting in hostmonster.com and they had a one-click install for Modx. Everything seems to install correctly, however, I cannot log into the Manager. When I enter my user id and password, it just reloads the manager login page. Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you,

      First time to see something like this, but till some one else come up with solution I can suggest the following:

      * Check the installation requirements (specially folder permissions), may be something changed.
      * Request a new password through forgetting password..

      Following is summary of installation requirements as I get it (Yours should be OK also), revo 2.0.7 pl:
      Checking PHP version: OK! Running: 5.3.5
      
      Checking PHP for zlib dependency: OK!

        What MODX version are you running?


        This resource (http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Troubleshooting+Installation) lists two possible problems / fixes that seem like this one.. did you try those?

        Can you also give us the details that are asked for in red?

        HEY YOU, READ THIS! If you’re posting about a bug, please state all of your Environment information in your post: Version of MODx, Traditional or Advanced distribution (for Revo), Server OS, Server Version, PHP Version, MySQL Version (client and server), is pdo_mysql installed, your Browser type and version, if you are using any opcode caching such as eAccelerator, APC, winCache, xCache, etc; any relevant errors in core/cache/logs/error.log, and any other environment data we should know. We can’t help you without that information.
